I would have to be forced to take any club out of my bag. A quote from Camilo Villegas on being asked the Favorite Club question, best states my position on the clubs in my bag.
<strong>"I'd better love all 14. I eventually have to hit them all, and if I dislike one, I'll just get over the ball with a bad attitude, and the outcome won’t be great."</strong>

I do use them all and the only time I change is when a new one is bought to replace one. Having never been a big hitter of the ball the variety of irons in my bag has always been a nescessity. Over time that has entrenched a mindset that enhances my capability on the course.
There is no doubt that my ability to use some clubs has to be supported with flaming hours of practise. Of late the change to regular flex shafts on my irons has been a real boon. Now I have bought a reg flex driver that has already passed muster, replacing the stiff flex driver. The reg flex hybrid (#2 17 degree) to replace the existing 16 degree stiff flex is still not in the bag. As the above describes, changing clubs is not easy for me to do without a lot of thought and experimenting.
Am I overly pedantic or do others take time to change clubs in their bags. Or is it as easy as putting on clean socks in the morning for you?
